DAKOTA TOMS WISDOM.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-Dakota Tom.

mice. aven whin called traypins," was
a philosopher as well as wag. 1t was
he who discovered why f1eas, mOsqui-
toes and other articulateS were created.
Old man Ryse, of Day county, had been
stopping at the National hotel, and COM
planned that he had not slept for sew
eral nights on account of the murderous
assaults of the bedbugs upon him. He
said: Il never could see what them
pesky critters was made for, anyhow
The entire crowd laughed heartily at
the unique old man, and Dakota Tom
spoke up, saying: "Well, l know ex-
actly what God created them for. They
never troubles me nor any other clane
men as kapes the pores av their skins
open wild water, But they gets after
the dirty fellers and makes tein scratch,
and that way they compels dirty men
to let natur caper an kape their pores
open by scratchin', whites other paple

Dakota Tom was most assuredly right.

BLUNDERERS SOAIEW HERE.
The farmers on the Northern Pacific
indemnity lands have, since the opinion
of Attorney General OAKLAND. and the
report that it would control the action of
the land department, been placidly rest
ing in the conviction that they were on
the easy way out of serious difficulty,
and the trouble was on the shoulders Of
the greedy fellows who had been put
ting up ShantieS on their plOwed ground.
One of them. who farms d good many
sections in Trail county, wrote TO the
commissioners little time since. making
n strong presentation of the situation i'll
the interest OF the men who bought the
land of the railroads and con
verted it into farms. He received
a reply from the acting commissioner
this week and was aSt0nished TO be told
in substance that, while he could hold a
quarter section, amy parties who had
filed on the other quarters could proceed
to make their laimS. In one instance
in that locality a settler some years
since filed presumption upon quarter
section. paid his money to the local land
office and had his claim accepted. Later,
the money came back to him from Wash
ingtOn with the statement that his
claim was cancelled for the reason that
the land belonged to the Northern Pa
cific railroad and was not government
land. He then went to the railroad and
bought the land, improved it and
brought its value up TO SD an acre. He
Is now advised that the railroad never
had any title to the land, and that per
sons who are squatting ali about him
can proceed to take possession Of his
farm. There has evidently been blum
dering at Washington, but it will no
doubt soon be rectified, and no greater
han d ship imposed upon the honest pur-
chasers Of these indemnity lands than
is indicated in the opinion Of the attor
ney general. a less favorable adjust
ment would be unjust to the bona fide
purchasers and settlers upon these
lands.

DAKOTA SUITED.

The Omaha Republican, whose man
aging editor was formerly editor of a
Republican and division paper in Da-
kota, and should know better, asserts
THAT there is not drop OF free trade
blood in Dakota Republican views"
The tenor of the article shows that he
means to assert that the Republicans of
Dakota are in harmony with the high
tariff views of their party in the East.
Probably he is not aware that the lead
ing Republican who, before the late
voting, took the stump for division in
the North, a member of the last legiSla-
ture, based his argument for two states
upon the ground thatthe interests of the
people of Dakota are radically Op-
posed to the protective theories
of the East. and that more
senators were needed to outvOte the
tariff men. No Republican paper in
Dakota uttered word of dissent from
this view. Even his venerable cO-trav-
eler and cO-wOrker, Col. POTTER, always
a high tariff man in the East. did not
object TO this view. No Republican
voted against divi sion on account of the
low tariff position. The producers of
Dakota are as nearly unanimous for
tariff reduction as they are for any mat
ter of public policy. There is no agri-
cultural publication. no matter where
printed, that circulates largely in the
ter TitOry which does not strongly Op-
pose the present high tariff. Wherever
the farmers in any original ca
pacity have expressed their views
on the subject, they have
insisted upon such reform in the tariff
as would not, beyond the needs of the
government, impose taxes upon manu-
featured articles which they are obliged
to purchase. This question is being dis
cuSSed and agitated among the masses
of the people, and, in view of the low
prices of the chief products of the soil,
there is small disposition to be led by
partisan prejudices or traditions to
foster mOnOpOlies at their expense.
Should the Republican party in the ter
ritOry declare for the Eastern tariff pol
icies, or take doubtful ground on the
subject, the Democrats can carry Da-
kota on this issue. The presidents mes
sage on this subject suits Dakota.

1t Is Affirmed That the Republic
cans Will Nominate Allison for
President.
Special to the Globe
WASHINGTON, Dec. GA gentleman
from Dakota, formerly an IOwan, has
recently had conversation with SEN
ator Allison. He is wisely discreet, but,
after talking with other Iowa friends,
he says: 1.-The cause of prohibition in
Dakota is but an index of the cause in
the entire country. The Prohibition
party is growing throughout the nation.
| can take news to my friends in Dakota
which will more than please them. The
Prohibitionists are going to elect
president in 1888. Allison will be nom
mated by the Republicans, and he will
be Endorsed by the ProhibitioniSts as
their candidate. too. On a separate
ticket the ProhibitiOnists cannot elect
any man; but they can indorse Allison,
the father of prohibition in Iowa, and
help the Republicans to elect him.
Thus, by wise coalition, the Prohibi-
tiOnists can elect a president" 1t may
be that he got that tip from the SEN
ator, direct: although Allison is known
as a man who never talks wildly nor
unnecessarily. If he intimated such a
thing to man who likes to talk, it is
something remarkable. More than
likely the gentleman got it from some
Iowa admirer of the senator. However,
it contains pointer" no matter where
it was obtained, and it will be well to
keep weather eye upon the quiet Iowa
man whose name is being SO rapidly
doomed by certain class Of Republi-
cans. They say that man convinced
against his will is worth two of. kind,
and the Democratic planners of the
country may as we'll look at the problem
which is presented in the combination
thus suggested.

A GOOD HEAT COUNTRY.

While attention is taken up with
division, prohibition, Gen. TYNER's
Aberdeen letter and other agitating
questions, it is well to remember that
Dakota stands at least second to any
state in the Union in the total of its
wheat production. Territorial Com
missioner MCCLURE has revised his
first figures of G2,OCO.OOO, and now puts
the total at 53,OOO,0OO bushels for 1887.
The estimates of more conservative
judges put it at 45,OOO,OOO. California
may, perhaps, show larger figures, but
certainly no other state. These bottom
figures show an increase of fifty per
cent over the previous year. Dakota is
evidently entitled to admission as a

LOCAL OPTION IN PERIL.
1t Is JeOpordized by the Inharmo-
NOUS Spirit ofthe w. C. T. u.

Special TO the Globe.
FARGO, Dec. 6.-The internal com
motion in the bosom of the w. {. Il. L.
which threatened its usefulness if not
existence, has been nOminally adjusted
by the retiring of the entire admins
tratiOn and the surrender of the organ
izatiOn into the hands of the recalci-
trants. \ meeting was held this week
in one of the churches with closed
doors. and when newspaper repre-
sentative, noted for pulchritude and de-
vOtiOn to their cause, applied for adj
mission, his nose was stunned by the
alacrity with which the door on the
outside was made to strike it. AS only
the kickerS attended and there were
offices enough TO go around, there was
intense harmony, and coffee and dough-
nuts will again be on deck, and the inns
will have to feed and entertain the ter
ritOrial convention next year. The old
officers, however, did not resign, and
there are really two full corps of Off
cials to the organization. There is some
prospect that the old officials may assert
their prerOgatives and carry the matter
into court. Some of them appear to
think that the success of local option
hinges upon this organization. in which
case the cause is evidently in much
peril.

FARGO, Dec. 9.-Canvassers have

erection of a four-stOry building to cost
s35, 200 OF $4,000. This is for begin

Judge Mclaughlin, Hon. Granville G.

always been consistent one-state man,
and he will no doubt be prominent

III. Orton and wife, together with q
dozen other persons, embarked in q
wagon drawn by a team of frisky
mules, for the purpose OF attending
some kind OF social gathering al
Bruin. The company was composed
ofyoung people who reside in the vi
cinity of Gibson's Mill. AS they
were about to start on their journey,
some small boys, who had more pa
triotism than they had of the Grace
of God in their hearts, threw lighted
frecrackers beneath the mules. when
they took fright and ran precipitately
down q steep declivity and into the
woods, scattering the fair occupants
of the wagon around in a promiscu-
Gus manner. Several of the young
ladies tainted, whilst the young men
delivered impromptu addresses, ap-
propriate to the occasion. 1t is said,
however, that Mr.. Orton had no re-
marks to offer.
